One of the first titles announced for WiiWare finally sees the light of day.

Among the very first games announced for WiiWare, we might have expected to review Gravitronix around two years ago. But, as they say, life gets in the way. Plans change, things don't work out the way we expect them to, and release dates slip further and further away. It happens, and it's not infrequently to the benefit..

About The Game

It's time to claim your rightful place as the champion of the Gravitronix arena, but get ready to deal with up to seven other players who are all shooting for the same title.

Vanquish your opponents with four different projectiles and the powerful beams of your gravity platform. Intercept attacks and take careful aim at exposed vulnerabilities. Deflect incoming projectiles or capture and charge them with energy for devastating explosive attacks. Team up with a friend and battle through campaign mode, or recruit up to eight players on a single Wii™ system in versus mode for an all-out battle. Customize your matches with a variety of different options, such as flooding the arena with projectiles or making the game insanely fast. No matter how you like to play, grab your friends and have a blast.

Yah, that's exactly what they mean. Seems like they are going for a cheap Boom Blox, only with less replay value, which is the major appeal of Boom Blox. I'm not too optimistic about this game, but I guess I'll have to wait and see how it actually plays before I make my opinion about it, though.

This is taking forever to get released. Still, good games take time and seeing as this is taking ages, it should be brilliant. Like i said before (As GameGod3008), it sounds great for Multiplayer action. Considering the price, i will seriously consider this upon release

I find it funny how this game has been announced since before Wiiware launched, and there's still hardly anything known about it! there aren't even any screenshots!I'm thinking it'll be a bomberman-type game, but instead of using bombs you throw shapes at people. Hope there's wifi.

It does feel like it's never coming out. Heck, this was announced so long ago, i commented using the GameGod3008 profile before i changed to Terranigma (nearly a year ago now).

I Just have to wonder what's the current situation with it. The blog hasn't had any updates and there haven't been any press releases lately. Also, i wonder what that Paranoia game is. Maybe that has something to do with the long wait. I wonder if that will be a WiiWare game as well.

I think these guys appeared with a few comments in official nintendo magazine. It was a recent edition of the magazine. That suggests it IS very much alive and kicking as they say. It was a general article regarding wiiware.

"Gravitronix will feature a 21 level campaign mode for 1-2 players. It offers 10 regular levels aimed at teaching you the gameplay and 11 challenge levels aimed at making you jump out of your chair and scream with joy when you finally beat them."

The game will feature up to 8 players on a single Wii with four players holding Wii remotes and 4 holding nunchuks (wifi didn't make the cut, but we have wifi plans for future games).

The game is played on a circular arena and players can choose to play with two 180° territories or four 90° territories.

Inside this zero-gravity arena, you will use four different projectiles as weaponry against opponents.

Gameplay is as simple as twisting the Wii remote or nunchuk and pressing two buttons to fire different gravity beams, one to push projectiles away and one to capture them, holding them in front of your gravity platform as you move along your territory.

Territories begin the game lined with a wall of shield pieces which are destroyed on contact with projectiles except the shard which bounces off shield pieces. When a projectile destroys a shield piece, it is destroyed as well.

The objective of the game is to be the last territory remaining by eliminating all other territories. Territories are eliminated when a projectile passes through their territory line.
